El Dorado at Quail Valley Golf Course

I loved the course! Beautiful scenery and layouts! Had a bunch of hiccups though. The golf cart I got was a dud, the first tee box had such hard ground that I couldn’t get my tee in deep enough to have a decent drive. I assume it had something to do with it being a twilight round, but there were tons of people all over the course either jumping on for practice shots, fishing, walking, or riding around in personal carts. The straw the broke it for me was a group of kids that drove up on my ball and took it before I was able to get to it to hit my second shot. Very frustrating, but again, probably just has to do with it being in a residential area at twilight. I would live to try again mid-day.

Course in pretty good shape, fairways thick and most greens very solid. Staff helpful and pleasant.

Really like playing El Dorado great layout some challenging to holes look forward to playing again

I feel like this course is stuck between being a water course and a woods course. I think this is a really excellent value. Usually you can get a round here for less than $30. El Dorado is definitely harder than La Quinta. For us amateurs I'd recommend LaQuinta. Overall I've yet to have a negative experience either with staff or other players. This is a very friendly place.

Really well set out course. Challenging holes asking you to hit shapes in both directions. Friendly staff and patrons. I think maybe the fairways and greens could do with a little trim to totally finish the course off but a really good experience nonetheless.

Despite significant rain fairways and greens were in great shape. Bunkers will require work as a result but nonetheless enjoyable round. Will be back for sure!

Was passing through Houston and wanted to get in a round of Texas golf (Floridian). I can't say that I've ever played a course that big that was located within a neighborhood. The course seemed unwalkable. It had to be over 10 miles long.

Summer mid day golf in the Texas heat presents its on challenges. Sure the grass was on the dry side and the ground was hard but the course seemed well maintained. Fairway shots rewarded the golfer while missed fwys presented additional challenges. Greens were fast and fair. 135 course slope is well earned and deserved. Definitely recommend some kind of navigation if you aren't familiar with layout.

If I had to complain i would say the practice facilities aren't 4*. But everything you need is there.

Overall strong course deserving of its 4* rating.

Course in great condition. Greens were punch but coming back nicely.

Can feel safe with all equipment sanitized.

Also has restaurant to sit down after hot round!

Fairways and greens in great shape. Tee times spread out now waiting on the tee. Felt like we had the whole course to ourselves!

Dorado course is a great layout. There are some very interesting 90 degree holes with long water carries. The event heavy rains had caused some aft spots on the greens, but overall the course was in great shape!

Bunkers were worked, but still without rakes, we played them, just moved the ball to a better lie if needed. Greens were true and in great shape. Tee times were spaced due to limited carts.

Greens were rolling true, tee times were spaced due to cart availability.

Not only were we delayed by a juniors tournament off the first tee, we were backed up throughout the round, with up to four groups on the same hole at a time. Our round took five hours (1:07pm-6:00pm). The bunkers were so bad, I lost three balls (two to fairway bunkers and one to a greenside bunker) simply because the water in the bunkers was so deep and filthy, there was no way to see and/or find the balls. Just an embarrassing display of poor course management all the way around. Manage the tee sheet better, pump the water out of the bunkers and plan around your scheduled tournaments more efficiently. It’s not the first time I’ve been delayed by a junior golf tournament at this course. A really decent golf course, with fairway and green conditions better than average, but with everything else so poorly managed, it’s all easily overlooked. I would not and will not play this course anytime in the near future, nor will I recommend this course to anyone.

Course and greens in good shape.

Busy and adhering to social distancing rules as well as one player per cart.

Staff was great, I had an excellent burger in the clubhouse before the meal. The pro at the proshop let me tee off a bit early. I didn't run into any groups until hole 12 (playing alone) but the 4some in front of me obviously knew the course and played quickly but kindly let me by when I caught up. Hope to play again soon!

Every golf course should warn players before they make tee times that the greens have been aerated or discount the green fees accordingly.
